You wonder why some of us stay on Hive ? Well… we need Hive to buy Blurt on Hive-Engine.com.
I imagine I could have bought a lot of Blurt doing this as well. My posts on Hive did really well for quite some time when I walked away from it. I just can't bring myself to give my energy and intellectual property to further support their structure regardless of how it would financially benefit me. I'm not for sale.
I would have went to Proof of Brain if they had taken their idea one step further and not funneled all posts onto the Hive Blockchain. They are as much at the mercy of Hive as being on Hive. The debacle with Lucylin highlighted that flaw.
The bible has many words of wisdom in it. One regards the multiple demons (thoughts) called Legion. It points to an internal conflict. Many don't understand the idea is also highlighted regarding external conflict regarding serving two masters. One serves what they focus on, and this implies the structures we support. In my estimation, all of the cross posting and such can do this, especially in competing chains such as Blurt and Hive.
I refuse to support the structural approach that is Hive. I align with and wish Blurt to flourish, so that is where my energy is directed, my intent manifested given in investment and intellectual property.
Having said all of that, I'm libertarian at heart so don't go on crusades to others posts who are cross posting and denigrate them for making their choices. We all walk our paths we choose, and carry the crosses those paths demand of us.
As an Artist, I share absolutely everywhere. Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Steemit-Hive (both controlled by Justin Sun) , TRoN, ProofofBrain, Blurt, … everywhere. I post my photography, Films and artwork. The more places I can share my work the better. Is this cross posting ? Is this Farming ? Milking the Blockchain ??? I really don’t care. Artists share their work everywhere. This is just what we do. If people don’t like it, or they are jealous or envious as they are on Hive , I just don’t care, I will share my work everywhere.
Not sure where much of that came from. No need for jealousy. My posts did really well there, and I willingly walked away from that. My choosing to not support their evil structure isn't based on any of the things you mentioned.
As for others, as I said, we all have our price (or no price) for the choices we make. As well as the burdens of those choices. It's an individual choice, one that I don't need to approve or agree with when it comes to others, even if I see it is shortsighted.
Not you,… but most of the whales on Hive do not permit or allow people to post anywhere except Hive.
Yes, this is true. I've actually been surprised they haven't targeted you there. I sometimes peek at your account (among many I look at over there) and see you mentioning Blurt often.
I am posting from the ProofofBrain.io front end. I was targeted on Hive and had many thousands of dollars deleted on Day 7. Many times …. However I don’t just mention Blurt.
I mention EVERYTHING on POB …
I recommend people share EVERYWHERE…..
FACEBOOK, TWITTER, INSTAGRAM, BLURT, NOISE.CASH, YOUTUBE …. if people stay in a Hive Bubble or a Steemit Bubble or a 3Speak Bubble or a DTube Bubble or a Blurt Bubble they will never ever grow.
Ever …
The only reason Hive is growing is due to Splinterlands SPS airdrop and staking.
